What did you say fmr. Gov. Rommney?

I recently heard Mitt Romney state that Senator Obama purposes $100's of billions in new government spending. I quickly thought, gee... I hope so...our republician president purposed at least a half of a trillion dollars in new spending over the last 8 years... and you know most of that money went to non-citizens who now want U.S. out of the country immediately , if not sooner.
So... if we divert this war money to social spending on US citizens I say that would be a good thing. There have been budgets that included $100's of billions of unexpected costs absorbed, so we could invest that in United States infrastructure. There could be educational grants that encourage education completion to under-graduate degree. There are so many goods and services that could do everyone and everything some good, if the money was there to do it. Of course new jobs would develope during this influx of investment. Just improving the roads, bridges and tunnels across this country would stimulate 1,000's of jobs. Making public colleges free with subisidies would generate thousands of new instructors positions. Right now the war money is creating jobs but only fraction of what 100% application of funds into the United States economy would create. Right now we are creating technologies that have little to no public use. How often am I going to need a light wieght body armor and bomb resistant vehicles in the United States of America? If we can make a missile direct itself to a pin point target with GPS naviagation don't you think we can make make a car that can drive itself?
We are already spending the money. We , as United States citizens, need to demand that our tax money is to be spent on US first.

Three years later....

Mitt, Mitt, Mitt, a fence? really? ah no, but no thanks. and then I remember Gov. Perry stating that he could secure the boarder, without a fence, he would need "boots on the ground" to do it. Then in what I found completely ironic is he said he need 1000 and upto 3000 "boots" Now i am assuming that it is 2 boots to 1 guy with a gun and really nice gear to protect me or the consitution from them. What I found ironic thou was ... would that not be growing government by upto 3000 employees? I understood that is how he grew employment in Texas.
